@poorlittlebiker6476 2 года назад

As a truck driver and rider myself, I can’t tell you how many times a motorcyclist has been in my trucks blind spot and I was able to hear the bikes exhaust and never even realize a bike was there until the sound hit. Not saying loud pipes saves lives but it does help to an extent of letting a riders presence be known. And as for swapping my feet up while at an intersection, I’m definitely no noob but when I know I’m at a light that just turned red or I just know will take forever to turn green, I much rather let my left hand rest from holding a heavy clutch and see the traffic patterns to know when my light will turn green and then get my limbs in the right places before the light turns green. 😉

@brucebaughman3283 2 года назад

My last bike was loud and when coming by people I would see them either look over their shoulder or check the mirror. I never sit in a blind spot. My current bike is fairly quiet and I almost never see anyone respond at all when I am coming by. I would say I have about 90% more people coming in my lane know than when I had the loud pipes. People are free to believe what they want but I put 70,000 miles on my last bike and now at 52,000 on my quiet 2018. Huge difference in how many people don't see of hear me and try to run me over.

@tonydandrea4774 2 года назад

I have to disagree with switching feet while stopped being noob (sometimes). Sometimes it's nice putting it in neutral and relaxing if you know the light will be long. I've been doing it for 12 years at the occasional long stop light. Great video though!

@bradleypolotto5193 2 года назад

I agree. I hate sitting at a long light holding onto my clutch. Doesn't make me a noob because I like to switch to neutral at a light.

@LethalShadow 2 года назад

Yep I was going to write the same thing. There are some lights around these parts that are notoriously long, and anytime I stop at those, I pop into neutral and sit back because I know I'm going to be there for several minutes (and longer if pedestrians use the buttons to cross).

@zoranj.9420 2 года назад

we have timers on stop lights so you know exactly how long you can chill there in neutral (also great to see how long is green going to be when zooming through intersection, adds a lot of safety to "I can make it")

@alexanderjanke1538 2 года назад

Sometimes? Well, so i put my bike nearly every time in neutral. I mean, i put it in it, so i know thats in neutral, so i dont keep forgetting it to put it in first gear to drive off. In my opinion only noobs use the clutch the whole time the light is red. Why should i waste energy in holding the clutch, when i simply can put in neutral? If youre so insecure about using the clutch and gears of your bike properly then keep holding the clutch, yes, so its easier for you to take off, but when you know your bike wll, just put in neutral. It makes the day way easier and relaxing

@Jqxhl3 2 года назад

@@alexanderjanke1538 Actually if you downshift to first gear BEFORE stopping you won’t forget it to drive off. I essentially stay in first gear with clutch in and right foot on the brakes so I can react to any situation. And if I know the light will take some time before turning green I switch to neutral before stopping too so I never have to take my right foot off the brakes (yup, not even to go back in first, if you’re quick enough you can put the first gear while keeping your right foot on the bike 😄)

Yesterday I was coming down a highway in California and came up on a construction zone I can see that the stoped cars extended a long ways, there was a flagman up there I stopped to wait after a few more minutes I realized that I was no longer sweating the outside temperature was 110 degrees in the shade. I know what that means I was dehydrated and in danger of having a heat stroke very soon so I filtered past all those cars and went up there and told the flagman the situation he provided me with water and told me to take position in the front of the line of cars while I was filtering up there a few cars honk horns one person tried to hit me with his car door. How long do you think their delay would have been waiting for an ambulance to come and pick me up out of the road after I stroked out ?

On #5, you forgot being bored at a long light or getting in a quick leg stretch. That's the two reasons why I do it.

@timsretirementjourney8323 2 года назад

You're right about the leg stretch at stop lights. Some bikes have a person's legs a bit cramped and it's great to get both down at a light for a minute. My reason in a lot of cases is my wife being on the back and if she wiggles the wrong way to get comfortable we could be on the pavement if I'm sitting there with my foot on the back brake.

@RidedarkFc 2 года назад

Also, my bike weighs 800 lbs and sometimes I’m a bit lazy and I have issues with my left leg

2 года назад

One more reason: when the red light is long, sometimes i stop using both brakes and put down my left foot, then to switch to neutral, put down the right. Then put both feet on the ground.

@quillmaurer6563 2 года назад

Same, if it's a long light I'll sometimes shift back and fourth to rest. Or sometimes I'll put both feet on the ground and stand up, straddling the bike, because my ass hurts. Won't do this for brief stops, but if I know I'll be sitting at that particular light for a while.

@BikeStandByMe 2 года назад

I’ve been riding for 45+ years and ride like no one can see me and everyone is trying to run over me. As for stop signs and putting it in neutral that’s to save wear and tear on you clutch system. With today’s 8 way traffic lights you can be holding your clutch in for a very long time so putting it in neutral is more of a anti wear maneuver than a newbie maneuver to me. And yes, always wear your helmet and protective gear.

@joemann7971 2 года назад

motorcycles clutches don't wear out by holding them since they are submerged in oil. Your hand might get tired but the clutch is fine. I even hold the clutch on my manual car and those are dry and the wear and tear is pretty negligible. Certainly not worth risking your safety, but if you can be reasonably confident that you won't get rear ended, then sure, I guess. You'll just be a sitting duck if the car behind you doesn't stop. You'll never get it in gear on time.

@BikeStandByMe 2 года назад

@@joemann7971 are you a motorcycle mechanic? My clutch is hydraulic, so no cable. And holding it on for extended periods of time just puts un needed strain on it including the release mechanism. Have you ever had a hydraulic clutch bleed down and start engaging the clutch at a stop? And I’ve been riding and working on bikes for 46 years and have never had an accident with a car involved. You have to ride like no one can see you and everyone is trying to run over you, trust no one. Thanks for the concern but I think I’ll be ok.

@joemann7971 2 года назад

@@BikeStandByMe so, do you also not hold the brakes during a stop because of unnecessary wear? Brakes are hydraulic too. Just seems silly to avoid doing things for safety just because they've never happened before. That's a similar mentality as the guy that doesn't wear a helmet because he's never crashed of before. While its not as severe, its still a pretty big risk. If anything, hydraulic clutch should be less wear since you don't have metal cable that stretches over time. I always stop in gear, right foot on rear brake, look for cross traffic and take off as soon as the light turns green. I put my safety in own hands, not in the hands of other drivers. For all I know, you've just been lucky for the last 45 years. Luck can eventually run out.

I get your idea, but honestly, if I'm going out riding, trust me I'll wear my leather 2 piece (and ofc a good helmet as always). Not because I want to drag my knee (that and excessive speeding is in my opinion for the track), but because if god forbid I'll drop the bike and slide, I want to have something that protects me, and allows me to do that. Plus leather is not going to flap all over you in the wind. But sure I guess it's preference at this point, /w this tech going into gear. Cheers!

@matthewmaxwell-burton4549 2 года назад

I can't agree more. If you do fall off, most of the time the gear will separate at the waist and you'll get terrible burns. The skin graft kind. Happened to a couple pals of mine. I ride in a two part leather suit that zips across the middle so stays together. Plus in the UK and France, it's considered good driving to touch the knee if you respect the speed limit. Because you are keeping the bike in a safer position (higher tire/road contact).

I will often put the bike in neutral, not because I am a noob, but because of arthritis in my hands. Also, I have a high bike, so different feet down, depending on the slope of the road, or dips in the road next to the bike. Sometimes I do leave the bike in gear at the lights, sometimes not. You really can't tell the experience of rider by how they stop. More so by how they take off, if you get to watch them over time. I do get it is a generalisation, and stereo types exist for a reason, but the reason is general, and the usually the sample size is small, and the sample rate in short. ie. I saw one person doing it one time, so that is how they must all do it, all the time. Yeah, nah.

@scratastic1 2 года назад

I wouldn't call myself a noob either ( I usually try to stay rolling until the last moment without even stopping) but I always brake with my foot and hand and the last few meters with only the hand brake while getting my right foot down as I stop. That's how we learn it before handling exams in the Netherlands anyway, also gives the opportunity to ride away quickly having your left foot on the shifter instead of puling it up first. And I normally always put it in neutral, only keep the clutch engaged if I'm in front of the line and I can't see other traffic lights telling me when I get a green light.

4:20 totally disagree. Why the hell would you tell people not to wear the safest gear possible? There is a reason only 1-Piece (an some 2-Piece) Leathers get an CE Level AAA certification, at least I have not found a textile suit with AAA. Also a good fitting 1-piece, which has been broken in, is NOT restrictive at all, it fits like a comfy second skin. Not to mention there is a huge range of different cuts, which go from "pre-bend-like-hell" to "sleeping suite comfy". I do not care if other people think I look like a cringy powerranger, I want to have the best protection and 1-Piece leathers offer this, which is a fact.

@yammienoob 2 года назад

Because the people wearing that gear decide that treating the road like a racetrack is an option because they're wearing a literal race suit. Do you think I don't know how a suit breaks in? I've owned 4 of them, raced in them, done over 100+ track days in them.

I wear a Dainese 2 piece leather suit most of the time because I ride hard and if I go down at full speed I'm going to need that extra slide protection. I also have a full mesh gear set for when it's so hot in Texas I'll die of heat stroke before I leave the driveway. I ride a little slower wearing that but not much. I'll occasionally ride with no gear at all but that's short casual trips which are pretty safe considering how I normally ride. I find it absurd for anyone to advocate not wearing the best protection on the road. If you have a problem with people riding hard on the streets that's fine. To each his own. But acting as if it's a noob move instead of a smart move by an insane rider is ridiculous.

I must say that your videos have been becoming increasingly idiotic of late (that is why I unsubscribed a while back) and this sort of idiotic comment just exemplifies it.

@brucelavoie7333 2 года назад

With more people wearing noise cancelling earbuds while driving, more powerful stereos and better sound dampening in most modern cars, the difference between loud pipes and soft ones is almost non-existent until the bike is almost directly beside you. Only bikes with the most extremely loud pipes can be heard approaching from well behind and they are at risk of being stopped by police for overly loud exhausts. I road for over a decade and 3 years YEAR ROUND in metro Boston traffic, when the pavement was clear I road in winter and was well aware of wet spots from melting snow becoming black ice overnight, morning rides were entertaining. My mental radar was on high alert all the time, constantly scanning all around me. When on a multilane highway you can be in direct contact with up to 8 other vehicles, 3 in front, one on either side, and 3 behind. I would drive in the left lane to reduce it to 5, less to keep track of. The same can be said of the far right but then you are dealing with on and off ramps and the stupid shit people do there. I never let someone tailgate me and would either pull away or let them pass. Best defense is not loud pipes but paying attention, no phone, no music, no passenger, just pay attention and anticipate what cars are going to do. Most drivers telegraph their next move, whether they realize it or not. When switching lanes they tend to drift towards that side before they make the decision to go. I firmly believed I had to drive everyone's cars around me and I had very few life threatening close calls.

The other reason to move around in the lane is road strategy. Position 1 when approaching intersections so that cars waiting to pull out see more motion than if you were in position 2 or 3. Position 3 when there's a long line of cars coming because then the cars that might be itching to pull out to pass can see you faster, and also you can bail out to the shoulder faster if one of them pulls out anyway. Lots of other position choices come down to safety.

Nice. How do we get this video to people who aren't in the cult?

I agree with most of this vid but #5 is doing my head in. For starters there are many times when I come to a stop where I haven't downshifted to first before stopping. This can be for many reasons but lets not get into that. If I come to a stop I usually put my left foot down first so I can work the rear brake in concert with the front. Then after I am stopped I will shift my weight over onto my right foot while I get the bike into neutral or first depending on the length of the stop. When I figure I will be moving again in a short period of time, I get the bike back into gear (in first), and then get back on the rear break with my left foot down while I wait on the light or whatever. As I am pulling away I get back on both pegs and work my up though the gears. As you can see this results in me routinely shifting from foot to foot 2 or 3 times on many stops.

Ref swapping legs at a stop light - I always put the bike in to Neutral at the lights. This way, I'm not having to hold the clutch in & keep pressure on the hydraulics. But... if I'm on an incline I may have to use the rear brake to hold the bike still. Then I have to swap legs to engage gear to pull away. (Actually, I've now got a Triumph Rocket GT with Hill Hold which is great!) but I still put the bike in Neutral.

A note on Hawaii rules. Hawaii doesn't technically allow lane splitting or filtering, but they do allow shoulder surfing as an alternative to the two. Motorcyclists can ride on the shoulder of the road to pass stopped vehicles as long as the road has two lanes of traffic traveling in the same direction.

I finally checked out one of the _"free motorcycle giveaways.."_ It's legit a just a raffle/lottery one has to buy entries for! With up to $100 tiers that earn 1,000 entries, it's definitely tuned more for making money than equality. (Not hating on him for profiting...but it'd be appropriate to actually mention it from time to time.)

@isaiahpost2877 2 года назад

If you read the terms you can see that it says no purchase is necessary. You have an opportunity to get up to like 600 tickets through mail (I think. Been a minute since I last checked) and another 200 through social media actions like following them or something along those lines.

Literally every video, he mentions you get one entry per dollar spent on his site...

If you win a 10k bike after spending a 100 bucks, you essentially got it for free. And he wouldn't be able to keep doing this as a business if he wasn't in the black.

@yammienoob 2 года назад

I highly encourage you to read the official rules - don't spread libel

@cobra64th21 Год назад

The point is your not going to win a 10,000 dollar bike for $100. He probably has to offer free entries as well or he would be regulated by gambling and lottery laws. That's basically how all youtubers do their "giveaways". Free entries just get saturated out by the people who spend because they get multiple entries. It's a buisness, certainly isnt charity. But who cares, it's free entertainment and information for me.

I thought the loud pipes were for when cars are next to you and don't look while merging rather than those in front of you. I can say my exhaust helped alert a box truck driver when they attempted to switch lanes without looking.

Hey guys I loved your channel. You had great advice for new riders that helped me very much. What were you thinking when you came out with that video telling us we should only ride on the track and not on the road. You lost my subscription and I don”t know how anyone else is still listening to all of your bullshit. That was a huge mistake.

@MrInfinityjak 2 года назад

And mine ....probably why it's taking so long to get to his million subs ..lol....tip for life listen to your audience...not everybody lives in the usa and not everybody that wears a suit is a street rossi...I think it's highly irresponsible telling people not to wear the best protection possible...

@NoKzMoto 2 года назад

5:07 The irony in this statement, coming from Yammie Noob, is something special.

@turnpike9680 2 года назад

Upvoted the moment you talked down "loud pipes save lives". I've had both stock exhaust and shorty pipes and neither have actively prevented me from getting merged into.

@stephenhedge2489 2 года назад

I had a Yamaha XJR1300 that was SO quiet pedestrians would step out in front of me. I fitted a single pipe instead with "a bit of a growl" to it so at least I could be heard in the city. I now have a Triumph Rocket GT and it is too quiet.

@Helixier Год назад

As far as #4 goes I rev my engine because my bike is 40 years old and doesn’t idle well so I’m just trying to keep it from stalling 😅

@StanleySM610 2 года назад

Bla bla bla. "I wrecked, so everyone who wears a one piece on the road is a street rossi squid" My suit and boots saved me twice now. I couldn't imagine riding in anything else. Horrible advice.

@jacktomlinson9337 Год назад

A couple of things. I have a '22 Indian FTR. 1. Blip the throttle: The bike turns on cylinder deactivation, trying to start out from a dead stop with this going usually results in a stopped engine. Solution, blip the throttle to turn off the deactivation, then go. Besides, it sounds cool. 2. Foot dance: By the time I come to a stop at a light, my right foot is on fire. And yes, this is with real, serious motorcycle boots. I gotta get it off the peg and away from the exhaust. Think what you want. Bonus: ATTGATT: Feet, hands, head. Those are your moneymakers, protect them. All the style in the world doesn't do you any good if you can't pay the medical bills.
